A few weeks ago, we explained the individual placement and support (IPS) scheme that we have to help people with mental health challenges into work. Find out more about the company we work with to offer this in Barnet and Haringey: Twining Enterprise!

All about Twining Enterprise
Twining Enterprise provides employment support services through IPS in Barnet and Haringey (the team is pictured above). It is a charity that works to help people in North London get into meaningful work.

As a company, it is passionate about the healing power of good work, and the critical role it plays in mental health recovery. IPS services reflect Twining Enterprise's collective commitment to making our community a place where everyone has the chance to thrive. For them, being a part of our IPS sercvices, is more than just about creating jobs — it's also about creating futures filled with hope, dignity, and belonging for those in their local community.

IPS service user testimonial
M had struggled with his mental health his whole life, finding himself in and out of secondary mental health care, sometimes unexpectedly. This made building a career particularly challenging. M was first referred to Twining Enterprise in 2022 and most recently again in 2024 when he worked with Sanjay, who successfully supported him into a job in the retail sector, an industry he felt comfortable in. Read the full story of M and Twining Enterprise, here.

Here's what the IPS referral process looks like at Twining Enterprise:



From an NLFT perspective
As we become the North London Foundation Trust (NLFT), we will keep fostering inclusivity, independence, and dignity for all members of our community. This has been central to the IPS services provided at BEH.

 We believe that every individual possesses unique talents and abilities that, when nurtured, can contribute to a more vibrant and thriving community. It is with this steadfast commitment in mind that we have embraced the IPS services as a cornerstone of our work.
